Unity of Existence

What happens when there is no difference between the Creator and the Created?

A Scene from New Delhi

You are sitting in a park in New Delhi...

Trees
Sky
People
Cars
Birds

Then you are told: All this… is God Himself. It is not His creation. It is Him.

If everything is God… what does the word "God" even mean?

What does worship mean if there is no difference?

Worship means: there is a worshipper… and there is a worshipped. But if you are part of God, who worships whom? Do you worship yourself?

In a home in Kerala or Rajasthan: There is a father and there are children. If we cancel the distinction, the meaning of fatherhood is lost. Relationships need distinction.

Raise the Universe or Lower God?

Assumption

Saying "everything is God" seems to raise the value of the world.

Reality

If God equals nature, does He remain above it? The universe changes, does God change too?

The Absolute God must be above change.

What about Human Error?

If man is part of the Supreme Truth, when he sins or errs… is the error part of God? Is anger, weakness, and selfishness part of the essence of Truth? A difficult question that cannot be ignored.

What does Instinct say?

When afraid… you feel someone is higher than you.
When praying… you look upwards.

A Very Personal Question

If you are part of God, why do you search for Him? Seeking "highness" points to a gap between the Absolute and the Limited.
